 Welsh Rarebit (Rabbit) Recipe


Click picture to enlarge
Believed to be a true Welsh recipe, Welsh Rarebit is "Caws Pob" in the Welsh language which literally means cheese (Caws), roasted or baked (pob). Thanks to Donald for the translation!

The basic Welsh Rarebit recipe consists of a slice of bread topped with cheese mixed with a splash of beer and Worcestershire Sauce. From this basic recipe comes our favourite version below.

Finely chop or grate 1 heaped teaspoon of onion, grate the Cheddar cheese and then mix everything together except the bread and cayenne pepper.

Place the bread under a medium heat and cook as if toasting it. The grill is better than a toaster because the grill will crisp up the bread better,


 
 
Divide the mixed ingredients into two and spread on the two pieces of toasted bread. We used brown bread because we prefer it but white bread will do just as well.

Spread the mixture right to the edge of the toast to prevent the toast burning when it goes back under the grill. Sprinkle cayenne pepper lightly over the top of the mixture.


 
 
Welsh Rarebit Place the two loaded pieces of toast under a medium grill - about two to three inches away from the heat source. Cook until the cheese is bubbling and the has started to turn brown (the cayenne pepper helps to give a rich colour).

Welsh Rarebit is best when served hot so serve on a plate with some garnish or salad and eat immediately.
